New Technologies allowed for motion pictures to be captured in a much easier way. For example in the set of photographs called Horse in Motion by Muybridge, 1878, He was able to answer the question that was When a horse trots or gallops, does it ever become fully airborne? Railroad tycoon and former California governor Leland Stanford was convinced the answer was yes and commissioned Muybridge to provide proof. Muybridge developed a way to take photos with an exposure lasting a fraction of a second and, with reporters as witnesses, arranged 12 cameras along a track on Stanford’s estate. That then helped pave the way for the motion-picture industry, born a short decade later.
